What to Wear? Clothing Tips for My Lady Travelers and Expats
So
many of our women travelers and expats contact us at Gweet and express their concerns
about the appropriate female attire for Jordan. They need guidance. They want
to know, "what can I wear in Jordan without being culturally
disrespectful?" They ask us, “I
understand shorts can be problematic in some places, but what about sleeveless
shirts?" Ladies, this post was
written just for you. You’ll find the useful information necessary to dress
appropriately in Jordan. Don’t worry; you won’t have to compromise your own
personal style. You have plenty of options.
Below
are some pictures depicting some pretty common outfits you will see local women
wear in Amman. You'll see these types of outfits in other parts of Jordan as
well but they are not as common in the more conservative provinces.
This
time around, I've posted several pictures of outfits that would attract negative
attention in the streets of Amman (and especially in the more conservative
cities and towns). For example, it isn’t uncommon for men to catcall, stare,
and taunt women who choose to wear skin-bearing outfits such as the ones
depicted below. However, also keep in mind these outfits would be appropriate in
Aqaba as this area is a tourist hotspot, full of people who swim, snorkel, and
sail on the Red Sea.
Additional Tip: If you plan on visiting mosques,
make sure to keep a scarf with you. It is often required for women to wear some
type of head covering in order to enter a mosque.
Have
fun with trying out some new ways to wear a scarf and experiment. There are so
many styles that you can create and recreate with a simple scarf.
Take a look at the diagram below
and figure which styles suit you best.
Oh,
and don’t forget all the different styles that you can create with a headscarf.
The first time I traveled to Jordan, I created some new head wrap styles with a
simple scarf I’d purchased in Downtown, Amman. Wearing a head wrap is a great
way to protect your hair from the intense sun and UV rays here. Check out the
really cool styles below.
Moreover,
have fun with what you wear in Jordan. Dressing appropriately for the culture
is pretty simple and straightforward. Be creative and try out some new styles.
